Chapter 116 Thank you for wearing away my last bit of saintliness
Zhuang Chaoying was waiting at the intersection again.
It's been going on for three days.
There are different excuses every day.
I wanted to see Xiaoting the day before yesterday.
I came to pick up Tunan and Pengfei yesterday.
I don’t know what it is today.
"dad."
"Uncle Zhuang."
The two children each had a few corn sticks stuck in their right hands and greeted Zhuang Chaoying with their arms and legs bared.
After saying hello, Song Ying led the two children into the house.
"You can only finish what you have on your hands and don't eat anything else, otherwise you won't be able to eat!" Huang Ling explained.
"Okay!" the two children responded.
Seeing Huang Ling's happy expression, Zhuang Chaoying also smiled foolishly.
But when the child entered the yard, Huang Ling turned around again with a stern face.
"A Ling..."
"Zhuang Chaoying, what do you want to do now!" Huang Ling roared.
"I......"
"If you don't understand, then I'll say it again: there's no chance for us. No matter what you do, there's no chance at all. I can't possibly remarry you. I despise you. You're as disgusting as a piece of shit in front of me."
Zhuang Chaoying looked up at her in disbelief.
"I already have a new life. Please don't disturb it again and again. If you take pleasure in consuming me, then I will have no choice but to take Xiaoting and leave Suzhou."
"I didn't. I just couldn't bear to leave. I especially miss our previous life...the life when our family of four lived together." As Zhuang Chaoying spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and his eyes became red.
"You just miss the life of being a hands-off boss and being exploited by others. It doesn't matter who this woman is. Don't use this as an excuse anymore. You have been comfortable for more than ten years, and now this is what you deserve." Huang Ling sneered.
"You really misunderstood me. Don't we have any feelings for each other?"
"Zhuang Chaoying, please stop talking about this over and over again. Where's the love? I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future. Otherwise, do you think I spent so much energy to divorce you for fun?"
"Zhuang Chaoying, I'm not throwing a tantrum, I'm not angry, and I'm not playing hard to get. I really want to get out of your life. Have I made myself clear?"
Zhuang Chaoying was speechless. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "You and Director Zhou...you..."
"Don't bring others up! Let me put it in a way you can understand. Even if all the men in this world are dead, I won't look back. Do you understand?"
“…”
"Don't come here anymore. Starting this week, Tunan and Pengfei don't have to come either. If you want to see Xiaoting in the future, ask Tunan to pick her up. Please, don't show up in front of me again! If you really want someone to share your filial piety, then go find someone else and don't bother me."
"No, no, I hope you don't do this..." Zhuang Chaoying raised his head in surprise.
Huang Ling was very determined: "Thank you for consuming the last bit of my saintly heart. In this matter, I don't consider anyone else, only my own feelings."
"No......."
"Zhuang Chaoying, look me in the eye and answer me. Did I make myself clear this time? Did you understand? Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Zhuang Chaoying sighed and replied, "I understand. I won't come again. Please allow Tunan and Pengfei to be the same as before. They are very much looking forward to it. I won't bother you again in the future, okay? I promise. If I want to see Xiaoting, I will also inform you in advance, okay?"
Huang Ling stared at him coldly:
"No, and I will tell them the reason why. If you love any of them, you won't test me because you know the consequences. If you go back and complain and put the blame on me, I don't agree with that."
"No, Aling, don't involve the children. I really don't have that much. I've given up, really." Zhuang Chaoying was anxious and desperate.
Huang Ling walked into the alley without looking back.
Zhuang Chaoying was a little confused, and he was also wondering why he had to lower himself to ask for reconciliation.
Do his so-called feelings really exist?
But he was clear about one thing: Huang Ling really had no feelings for him anymore.
The next day, when Zhou Huaiyi got off work, he saw Zhuang Chaoying waiting for him at the factory gate.
"Director Zhou, I want to talk to you."
"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, let's go."
Zhou Huaiyi took Zhuang Chaoying to a teahouse near the factory.
Zhuang Chaoying looked up at the teahouse.
"I'll treat you to some tea and we can chat while we drink." Zhou Huaiyi made a gesture of invitation.
"This... is not worth your money..."
"fine."
Zhou Huaiyi had already walked in, and Zhuang Chaoying had no choice but to follow.
Zhuang Chaoying rarely comes to such places. He was reluctant to go there before because he was not well off, and he doesn't have much chance now because he basically has no friends.
Zhou Huaiyi found a seat by the water and sat down. He ordered some tea and waited until the tea and snacks were served before he spoke:
"You say."
Zhuang Chaoying held the Sancai bowl in his hand, not knowing where to start.
"You should know that I am not important. The result will be the same with or without me." So Zhou Huaiyi spoke for him.
"It seems that you know her very well." Zhuang Chaoying whispered at this time.
"Not really, but I hope I can get to know her better in the future," Zhou Huaiyi said, his expression softening as he talked about Huang Ling. "She's very interesting, and I like her very much."
Unexpectedly, the words that he had never been able to say in front of Huang Ling were easily said in front of her ex-husband.
"I don't quite understand... Given your situation, even if you're a widower, it's completely..."
"If you think she is not good enough, then why do you keep wanting to remarry? Or do you think she is only worthy of you and only deserves to live in a family like yours?" Zhou Huaiyi's face darkened.
"No... no, it's because I'm not worthy of her, and neither is my family. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to escape." Zhuang Chaoying shook his head.
Zhou Huaiyi nodded without hesitation: "It's good that Teacher Zhuang understands. She is very good, and you are not worthy of her."
Zhuang Chaoying let out a long sigh.
"You come to me just to ask me to give up? Then I can tell you now that it's impossible, unless she doesn't accept me."
Zhuang Chaoying himself didn't know why he came to find Zhou Huaiyi.
But after hearing how resolute he was, my heart finally gave out.
"Oh, if we are really together, please rest assured that I will treat Xiaoting well. Maybe I love her and her family too! I like Xiaoting too." Zhou Huaiyi added.
Zhuang Chaoying raised his head and was speechless for a long time.
He seemed to feel the difference between himself and Zhou Huaiyi.
Those inexpressible differences.
The two of them were drinking tea in silence when suddenly someone hurried by and accidentally bumped into their table. The Sancai bowl on the table fell over and the tea spilled onto the table.
Zhuang Chaoying stood up in shock, while Zhou Huaiyi remained as steady as a rock.
The man apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I left too hastily."
"It's okay." Zhou Huaiyi replied in a deep voice.
